Back to Normal Again

Not much going on, pretty much back to normal.

We had a very cold spell with brasso nights and very chilly mornings for a few days, but now it's back to balmy days and warm nights, at least for the moment.

I've been trying to make up for the Bad Dog Week by taking them out a bit more, and we had a nice walk down at Bunyaville Forest which Eloise tramped around very spiritedly for several kilometres, which was very impressive. She even wore her jumper for part of it; but the sun came out and it warmed up and soon enough she was back into her T-shirt only.

Back at college, they have moved premises and the new place is quite bright and shiny, so we're getting back into the swing of things there too, with new assignments and lots of Black and White stuff going on.

Eloise has moved up a class in Music too and is now at the stage of tinkling - or attempting to tinkle - real tunes on chijme bars and the piano, would you believe, although today was the first day so we'll see how we go.

Other than that she continues to push away at boundaries which generally ends in tears. Maybe we're being a bit strict over the old getting down from the table lark and for god's sake listen to what we're saying and don't make us repeat ourselves endlessly jape, but it's intensely annoying and it can be quite hard work at the moment.

So life goes on as usual.
